“Chiropractic is founded on the principle of working with the body’s innate healing abilities, which aligns with the salutogenic approach. The primary focus of chiropractic is to optimize the function of the nervous system, which can enhance the body’s self-regulation and healing potential. Chiropractic is inherently salutogenic because of its focus on enhancing the body’s inherent capacity for self-healing and health promotion.” – Jen Santos, DC, DACCP

Chiropractic care embraces a salutogenic perspective which focuses not on fighting disease, but on how health is created, expressed, and sustained through the body’s innate healing capacity.

Chiropractic helps health emerge as a dynamic state of resilience, coherence, and well-being—not merely the absence of symptoms.

“Why is it that chiropractic works so well in removing common breastfeeding stumbling blocks? Nicole Piazza Lederman, an ICPA-certified chiropractor practicing in Waterloo, Ontario, and former associate professor at Parker University’s College of Chiropractic, explains it this way:

‘Chiropractic helps for several reasons. First, in the newborn or preemie, the baby may have a weak suck reflex due to interference in the nervous system, especially at the level of the upper cervical spine. This can be caused by immaturity in the nervous system, in the case of the preemie, or by subluxation of the joints in the upper cervical spine due to birth trauma. Even in “good” hospital births, the head and neck are usually “managed” as the baby exits the birth canal and when the shoulders are delivered. This often results in some pulling and stretching of the tissues and joints in the neck. This type of birth trauma can cause a sprain/strain injury to the joints of the neck in addition to a subluxation complex.

Breastfeeding problems can also be caused by different cranial faults or slight misalignments in the cranial bones. This can again be due to the management of the head as the baby exits the birth canal. This can also be caused by the position of the baby in utero as well as prolonged or protracted labors, especially where vacuum or forceps have been used. In my experience, these babies will go to the breast and feed for a minute or two, but are fussy and come off the breast as they cannot get a good latch.’” – Sarah Clark

Breastfeeding challenges often stem from gentle birth-related stress on a baby’s head, neck, and nervous system—and chiropractic care helps by removing interference so sucking, latching, and feeding can function better.

The specific chiropractic adjustment process gradually restores the neurological connection between your brain and your body and takes you out of survival mode, both mentally and physically. And, because of this connection between psychology and physiology, an upward spiral in health and vitality results, including your outlook on life.” – Kevin Donka, DC

When the body is stuck in survival mode, the mind follows. Nervous system interference forces the body to use energy inefficiently, shutting down higher function and creating a downward spiral in both physical and mental well-being. Chiropractic care restores communication between the brain and body, helping shift you out of survival mode and back into resilience, clarity, and vitality.

“This journey is reflected by the changes that are made in the brain. Initially with chiropractic, the spinal cord has a release of tension, twisting, and other distortional forces. This leads to decreased nociception (pain signals) and a release of tension on the brainstem. The brain is no longer being bombarded by so many overwhelming inputs, and the brainstem is able to more properly balance and adjust the physiological parameters of the body. The basic physical needs (such as heart rate, breathing rate, pH balance, blood vessel dilation, digestive function, etc.) are taken care of.

Once this occurs, the nervous system is freed up to become more active in the higher processing centers (i.e., the cortex). Heidi Haavik, Ph.D., has done amazing work to show that spinal adjustments do in fact ‘light up’ the frontal lobe of the brain. This most advanced aspect of our neurology begins to fire more and more as it is consistently activated. Our mental decisions and adaptive abilities improve with this increase in function, as the frontal lobe is the ‘chief executive’ of the brain. We gain an improved ability to process emotions at a higher level.” – Cameron Brownley, DC

The body often stores emotions until the nervous system feels safe enough to integrate them. Chiropractic care can support this process by creating the nervous system stability needed for physical, and ultimately emotional, healing.

“There comes a time when every woman in labor needs to ‘let go of the shore.’ This is the time when we either realize that there is a greater power within us that we can go to for the rest of labor…or that the power within is too much, and is something that could overtake us.

In birth, this is usually the time when we ask for the epidural: ‘I can’t do this anymore, I need help, give me something.’ Or, if we’re home and we can’t have an epidural, maybe we ask to go to the hospital. At this point we’re looking for something outside ourselves to save us—some greater authority to come along and be more powerful than our own autonomous being.

Today, I believe we’re all going through a birth. A birth in our social, religious, economic, legal, and healthcare systems, from an older paradigm to something new. At this time, it is very similar to labor, when we find ourselves holding on to the shore and won’t let go. A time when we’re insisting and begging for some outside authority to rescue us, to take over, to relieve us of our own autonomy, our own strength, and our own ability to make it through.

I see it again and again online: The past few years seem to have been so rough, so difficult, and so oppressive on people, bringing them to the brink of defeat. All I ask is that during this time we remember that every birth has these moments. Every birth has this potential for confrontation. Every birth has this critical time, where we can either ask for an authority to come and take over, or take a deep breath and let go of the shore, and let the power that animates the living world move us through the process.

For the raising of the consciousness, Jeanne Ohm, D.C.”

“He reported that his colleague, Viola Frymann, examined a random group of 1,250 babies five days postpartum and found that 211 suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity, and sleeplessness. Manual examination revealed cervical strain in 95 percent of them. Release of this strain by specific manipulation ‘frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of crying, muscular relaxation, and sleepiness.’

Dr. Gutmann’s highly significant conclusions are:
1. ‘Observations of motor development and manual control of the occipito-atlanto-axial joint complex should be obligatory after every difficult birth.’
2. With any developmental impairment, this joint complex should be examined and, if required, specifically adjusted. ‘The success of adjustment overshadows every other type of treatment.’” — Larry Webster, DC

Gentle chiropractic care supports your baby’s developing nervous system, helping their body function and thrive in powerful ways.

“A newborn baby grows at a rapid rate; this means that all its focus is directed toward feeding, digesting, and sleeping. When this goes wrong, havoc ensues, and your once-angelic human is now red-faced, screaming, and immensely uncomfortable.

You know the feeling you have after you’ve just eaten a big Christmas lunch? You might notice that you’re producing more saliva and digestive enzymes; your heart rate lowers and you feel slow and sleepy. Humans rely on the parasympathetic nervous system (a part of the autonomic nervous system) to shift their body into a “rest and digest” state. When the main purpose of your body is to grow and adapt— as it is for babies—you really need your parasympathetic nervous system to work properly. When there is interference to this part of the nervous system, an infant will be in a state of “fight or flight,” which means that the baby’s nervous system will believe it’s in a constant state of danger…not an ideal time for digesting and sleeping!

Infants that struggle to access the parasympathetic nervous system will only be able to sleep for short periods— and even then, their sleep will not be very deep. They might have an overactive fright response, and their digestion will be altered and inefficient. This can lead to the following symptoms:

• Inconsolably crying for hours per day, particularly in the late afternoon and evening
• A distended abdomen
• Flexed-up legs and hands held in tight fists because of pain
• The infant may seek pain relief through frequent feeding and for longer periods
• The infant may arch his back and pull away from the breast
• Reflux may be excessive, and sometimes projectile
• Short-term relief is gained by being held or rocked
• You may notice an uneven head shape beginning to develop”

– Lizette Botha, DC

Infant chiropractic care doesn’t “fix” babies—it removes interference so their nervous system can regulate naturally. Supporting your baby’s spine and nervous system early can lay the foundation for calmer sleep, smoother digestion, and healthier development.

“Because of chiropractic’s safe and gentle approach in pregnancy, a lot of heads are turning in the healthcare industry. The American Pregnancy Association addresses the benefits of chiropractic for pregnant women:

During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joints:

• Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
• Pelvic changes
• Postural adaptations

Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy…With a balanced pelvis, babies have a greater chance of moving into the correct position for birth, and the crisis and worry associated with breech and posterior presentations may be avoided altogether. Optimal baby positioning at the time of birth also eliminates the potential for dystocia (difficult labor) and therefore results in easier and safer deliveries for both the mother and baby.

The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems, including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.” — Pathways Magazine

“The scientific discipline of psychoneuroimmunology has been around since the 1990s, telling us of a connection between the immune system, the psyche, and the brain. NIH researcher Candace Pert, Ph.D., discoverer of the op**te receptor, was one of the first to legitimize that emotions encode in the body, a notion that could so easily be dismissed by the ‘body as machine’ model of medicine that has dominated the past 300 years. This is one of the theories around how and why emotional releases and inexplicable healing can occur through yogic technology, such as kundalini yoga, that involves repetitive self-stimulation of certain body regions.” – Kelly Brogan, MD

The fears we carry, which are shaped by cultural narratives, diagnoses, and medicalized meaning-making, can themselves become primary forces in shaping our health. When we reframe symptoms as intelligent, meaningful expressions of the body responding to emotional conflict, loss, or perceived threat, we open the doorway to healing.

Chiropractic care helps to support the body’s natural ability to be well. When we support the nervous system, we support the body’s innate capacity for regulation, repair, and transformation.
